I’m a couple weeks behind on this. Joel and Sister have been cruising along in our overview of American History (Core K). We finished week 12. It has been working well to do them together while I figure out what she needs to work on.<\/p>\n

We do morning devotions by listening to Hannah’s bible reading, then doing a selection from My First Hands On Bible<\/span>. This has been a good bible to start Sister off learning what we believe. All the kids have a prayer journal each day as well. The assigned bible for Core K is The One Year Bible for Children<\/span>. We read one or two entries for school each day. The kids are also doing weekly memory work. We have gotten into a good routine where they know they are expected to be able to recite the verse at the end of the week for Daddy.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies we have\u00a0sections of Heroes and Happenings Volume 1<\/span> as our spine. We finished\u00a0If You Lived in Colonial Times<\/span> and\u00a0Feelings<\/span>. We started\u00a0George Vs George<\/span> which is a fun compare\/contrast of George Washington and King George.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Read Alouds have been light and enjoyable. We finished\u00a0The World According to Humphrey<\/span> My Father’s Dragon<\/span>, and\u00a0A Grain of Rice.<\/span>\u00a0We use The Llama Who Had No Pajama<\/span> for our poetry selections each week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reading \/ LA: Joel is doing Sonlight’s LAK. We do Handwriting Without Tears Level K, letter posters, My First Picture Dictionary<\/span>, Get Set For The Code<\/span>, weekly copywork, narration, and letter games, and Fun Tales<\/span>. I add in Sing Spell Read and Write Kinder books to add variety as we learn to read. Joel only has about 8 more weeks of LAK. Sister is doing LA1 which basically just moves up a level in HWT and Explode the Code. She is reading the I Can Read It!<\/span> books and some SSRW 1st grade readers I have. We tried doubling up the weeks but pretty quickly got to her writing\/spelling level so we have slowed down to regular pace.<\/p>\n

Science: The new Sonlight Core K science is backordered but should be shipping soon. We’ll add it in when we get it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Math: Joel is working through Horizons K and Sister is doing Horizons 2.<\/p>\n

Extras are still the best part of homeschooling even with the virus putting a damper on things. We play outside at least an hour in the morning and in the afternoon, usually water is involved somewhere in there. Joel and Sister both attend the ninja gymnastics class on Fridays. Joel does Starfall or Adventure Academy for bonus work and Sister does Prodigy to help build up her math skills. During this unit, we had a mission trip to Kansas City and and family celebration for Joel’s baptism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
